Metsä Board said there will be little material impact from Friday’s fire at the company’s Gohrsmühle mill in Germany.

 

A fire on Friday was reported at the material supplier’s Gohrsmühle mill reel warehouse. By Saturday the fire had been extinguished, and a fire-watch has been installed. No personal injuries occurred, and the fire did not spread outside the reel warehouse.

 

Metsä Board produces cast coated Chromolux papers and has folding boxboard sheeting operations, launched in autumn 2012, at the Gohrsmühle mill.

 

The fire did not have material impact on Chromolux production, and is not expected to have any material impact on Metsä Board’s total folding boxboard deliveries.
